Hey folks i need some help. I need to replace this burnt up part but can't figure out the details of it and was hoping some pros could help me out. Its a dvd drive pcb from an xbox 360 i'm trying to fix for my nephews. Any help would be greatly appreciated this things been stumping me for months. Thanks so much and i hope you're enjoying the holidays :)

It is a tantalum capacitor. Too small to see the value.
It looks like it says 106, which means it is a 10 uF capacitor, which would make sense there.

This any better?

that looks like the input or capacitor of a linear regulator, both value and voltage rating should be uncritical. The marking is a bit irritating to me, but probably that is 100uF. But I would say, replace with a 100uF tantalum with voltage rating at least twice the output voltage of the power adapter.

Looks like 100uF at 6V. Tantalum.
